Q. How do I connect to PressReader?

PressReader is a new eNewspaper and eMagazines service offered by Winnipeg Public Library that allows you to read newspapers and magazines from dozens of countries and in dozens of languages. These are instructions on how to access this new service.More FAQs about PressReader.

Connect to the Internet using WPG-Wifi (if at the library), your own service provider's Internet/data connection, or any other public WiFi.

Connect to PressReader through the WPL website. Enter your library barcode number (without spaces) and PIN (the last 4 digits of your phone number).

You will be taken to the PressReader website. Close the HotSpot pop-up window that confirms that you've connected to PressReader through WPL and tells you the number of hours of PressReader access that you have remaining.

If you are reconnecting to the site to "recharge" your Library HotSpot access so you can continue downloading content in your PressReader app, you will also need to check that you are signed in to your PressReader Account before leaving the website. This step is important to do, as your PressReader connection will not transfer to the app if you don't do it.
